Amazon quietly brings Echo Spot to India

It's being speculated that the Fire TV Cube will let users have hands-free interaction with Alexa to search and play video content. Alexa might also be able to provide hands-free playback control for music and videos. The device will reportedly be able to handle 4K HDR video, as well. As per the company's media statement, the smart speaker comes with a "Drop In" feature, which aims to recreate the feeling one gets when close family or friends drop by for a visit.

Advances in computer vision technology, cameras, artificial intelligence and voice activation help make it feasible for Amazon to bring its robot to the marketplace. With Echo Spot, you can also see the product image, title, price and user ratings on the screen when shopping. Purchase products immediately or add items easily to your shopping list or your shopping cart.

Prospective customers can also avail no cost EMI for Echo devices on Amazon.in and select retailers like Croma, Reliance and Vijay Sales.

It is rumored that the upcoming streaming device will have what amounts to an Echo Dot built-into the top so that it can be controlled with just your voice.

It has a light-up strip along the front, like the Alexa bar around an Echo or Echo Dot. Now, Amazon is thinking of creating robots that can basically function as smart speakers but are considerably more mobile.

Time Limits - Set bedtime time limits to protect against kids talking with Alexa late into the night, or simply pause Echo devices for dinner or homework time.

Showing the importance of the Indian market, Amazon launched its smart speaker range in India in October past year. Since the screen is circular in shape, Amazon has also added an option to zoom in and the video will occupy the entire circular screen rather than appearing in landscape mode.
